Regarding pf there have not been any commits that should affect 
compatibility.  For if_bridge there have been some refinements regarding 
the pfil hooks, but these should - if at all - only affect you in a 
positive way.  There is a extensive section "PACKET FILTERING" in the 
if_bridge manpage which is a good read.

This is indeed the right list.  You might consider freebsd-pf@ if you have 
followup questions regarding pf.
